Wanting to go to Apple Hill but don’t want to deal with the traffic between orchards?

El Dorado Transit will operate a shuttle service – called the Apple Farms Shuttle – that will bring visitors from a parking lot in Camino to eleven of Apple Hill’s most frequented orchards and farms.

Four buses will operate every Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will leave each stop in 15 to 20 minute increments. Stops include High Hill Ranch, Boa Vista Orchards, El Dorado Orchards and Delfino Farms, among others.
